Lanier Chapman and Tyesha Williams How do Students Breakfast Program contribute to a child's success in school?
I. Describe Issue
Does having school breakfast in the classroom distract children and take away valuable learning time?
Should all students be eligible for free or reduced breakfast at school?
II. Research Summary Lanier's Research: Eating in the classroom doesn’t distract children from valuable learning time at all. The time children spend on eating their breakfast can be used as valuable time the teacher can take up. During this time teachers can take advantage of children eating breakfast in the classroom. It provides time for teachers to get some things done while his/her children are eating. When the child is consuming their meal the teacher can collect the homework, take attendance, or even take time to do a mini lesson plan. Children shouldn’t be distracted during the rest of the class because during this time they can reflect and socialize with their classmates. Breakfast is the perfect time for students to interact with one another while their teacher is getting his/her own work done. Student math and reading achievement test scores improve when breakfast is moved out of the cafeteria and into the classroom.
Tyesha's Research: In my research I found that children do achieve more throughout the day if they had breakfast that morning. My research findings showed me that children who have had breakfast that morning are more attentive, less disruptive and rowdy, and were more awake and energized. Growing up we have all been taught that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If one does not start the day with breakfast weather its an adult or child, they are more tired and almost grumpy during the morning or throughout the day. It seems as though over the years that more and more schools are trying to push for there be NO eligibility requirements, so that ALL students will be eating breakfast in the morning. Children starting their day with breakfast are taking a healthier step to a brighter future!
